Cosleeping and Biological Imperatives: Why Human Babies Do Not and Should Not Sleep Alone. By James J. McKenna Ph.D. Edmund P. Joyce C.S.C. Chair in Anthropology Director, Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory University of Notre Dame Author of Sleeping with Your Baby: A Parent’s Guide to Cosleeping Where a baby sleeps is not as simple as current medical discourse and recommendations against cosleeping in some western societies want it to be. And there is good reason why. Definitions are important here. Unfortunately, the terms cosleeping, bedsharing and a well-known dangerous form of cosleeping, couch or sofa cosleeping, are mostly used interchangeably by medical authorities, even though these terms need to be kept separate.
Bedsharing is another form of cosleeping which can be made either safe or unsafe, but it is not intrinsically one nor the other. Nothing can be further from the truth.

How to Cite the DSM in APA Style. By Jeff Hume-Pratuch If you are working in any field that involves human behavior, sooner or later you will need to cite the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Published by the American Psychiatric Association (a.k.a. “the other APA”), the DSM provides a set of common criteria and language for talking about dysfunctions of the mind and emotions. From the beginning, the DSM has been widely used as a guide by state and federal agencies for the reporting of public health statistics and the fulfillment of legislative mandates, as well as its use as a classification guide for research and clinical psychologists. The DSM has gone through five revisions since it was first published in 1952, and each of those revisions has included substantial changes in structure and definitions.
Because of these changes and their effects on areas as disparate as longitudinal research parameters and health insurance benefits, it’s important to be precise when citing the DSM.

The discussion often, but not always, leads to the signing of documents known as advance directives. A health care proxy is the only advance directive authorized by Massachusetts statute. Top of the page Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care is a term used in some states for a health care proxy.
